My point is this Ponygirl. If you buy a Yugo you can't expect the reliability of Benz. The old saying goes you get what you pay for. If you pay cheap or below market expectations you are going to get that type of service. Complaining about it does nothing but give you a headache and the service still your money. Like I said before, in this business you can't afford to go down. Go down one day and that can mean $10, $20, $100 in sign ups. That's worth the $10 hosting fee? Think about it. It costs $10 the pills to get rid of the headache. The pepto to get rid of the stomach ache cost just as much. The rep you lose for having sites show up 404 is priceless and then you have to run on a board an blame it all on the hosting service. I'm not saying everyone should run out and buy $100 hosting, but when you start nickel and dimeing hosting cost then fact is you’re hurting for money to start. If you have to care about $20 more per month in order to sacrifice your users experience then you should take a step back and think of why you are in this business. I have heard nothing but ok things about this company. Nothing stellar and I was hosted on them for about 24 hours so I have experienced their support and have said in the past that it’s great. But in my experience I would never pay for their service again. I would not take it if it was free. But that’s just me, I care about my sites loading fast and never being down. You sound like the rare ones on this board who never had an issue with them. But hey if you do I hear Go Daddy is really really cheap.
